Signature of Parent/Guardian

I certify that the information on this form is true and correct. I understand that, if I knowingly provide false information, my child could be disqualified from ECEAP and I may have to reimburse the amount spent on my child’s ECEAP services ($780 or more per month).

I understand that information in this application may be combined with information about other ECEAP children and used for research studies, such as determining if participating in ECEAP helps children later in life. The identities of children and families would be removed before analyzing information for research.

I understand thatinformation in this application may be reported to other state agencies. For example, individual child enrollment dates could be used to determine if state dollars spent on ECEAP may be used as “federal match” to allow Washington to receive more federal funds to serve families.
